Welcome to 21st century wound care
“The development of specific diagnostic tests for use in wounds has the potential
to revolutionize their treatment, and help improve standards of wound care
(while) aiding in the cost effective use of limited resources.”
World Union of Wound Healing Societies. Principles of best practice: A consensus
document: MEP Ltd. London, 2008.
Research suggests that wounds that heal well have a lower overall
protease activity than those that heal poorly. As a result, a test that readily
provides this information might be clinically useful in understanding how well a
wound is healing, and whether an intervention that modulates protease activity
may be needed.

SILVERCEL NON-ADHERENT
®
SILVERCEL® Non-adherent antimicrobial dressing with silver
WHAT IS IT?
SILVERCEL® NON-ADHERENT Dressing is the next generation of Silver Antimicrobial
Dressing with the unique feature of a Non-Adherent layer that maximizes
protection of the wound bed, particularly at dressing change.
The unique composition: a mixture of alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC),
and silver coated nylon fibres manages exudate effectively in infected or heavily
colonised wounds. The optimally spaced perforations on the unqiue EasyLIFT® film
layer keeps the dressing simple and convenient to use, minimizing pain and trauma
at dressing change for your patients.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
SILVERCEL® NON-ADHERENT is designed to absorb and retain high amounts of
exudate, while allowing easy, intact and atraumatic pain free removal from the
wound bed.1
The silver ions within the dressing protect the wound from bacterial contamination.1
SILVERCEL® NON-ADHERENT – designed not to stick
Maintains a sustained release of silver ions for up to 7 days in vitro 1
Stays strong for intact removal, even when wet 2
Optimally spaced perforations allow ‘free flow’ of exudate into the dressing,
and also ensure the dressing stays intact
Conforms to the wound bed for complete coverage when moist, and is
designed not to stick to the wound bed at dressing change
SILVERCEL® NON-ADHERENT has been proven to be 75% Less Adherent than
the market leading silver dressing 3
Effective against over 150 pathogens including MRSA, MRSE and VRE 2
•
•
•
•
•
•
INDICATIONS:
May help reduce infection in moderate to heavily exuding partial and full-thickness
wounds including:
Pressure ulcers Venous ulcers
Diabetic ulcers Donor sites
Traumatic and surgical wounds
Suitable for use under medical supervision, in the management of infected
wounds, or wounds which have an increased risk of infection.

Product Information
How do I use it?
Cut or fold SILVERCEL® Non-Adherent to fit the wound. Cover the dressing with a
non-occlusive secondary dressing such as one of the Tielle® Hydropolymer Dressings.
Reapply SILVERCEL® Non-Adherent when the secondary dressing has reached
its absorbent capacity or whenever good wound care practice dictates that the
dressing should be changed.

INADINE
®
INADINE® PVP-I Non-Adherent Dressing
WHAT IS IT?
INADINE® PVP-I Non-Adherent Dressing consists of a low adherent knitted viscose
fabric impregnated with a polyethylene glycol (PEG) base containing 10% Povidone
Iodine; equivalent to 1.0% available iodine.
INADINE® Dressings are designed to protect the wound, even if infected.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Povidone molecule provides an effective, and controlled release of iodine. The
polyethylene glycol provides a water-soluble environment, which allows the Iodine
to reach the bacteria in the wound.
INADINE® Dressing has long been established for use in wound care, its
features include:
•Povidone Iodine controls bacteria by reducing bacterial load and inhibits
infection 1-3
Povidone Iodine is a broad spectrum antimicrobial 1-3
Safe for use on adults and children and in combination with systemic
antibiotics 1-3
•
•
INDICATIONS:
INADINE® Dressing is designed to protect the wound, even if infected. INADINE®
Dressing is indicated for the management of ulcerative wounds and may also be
used for the prevention of infection in minor burns and traumatic skin loss injuries.
How do I use it?
Application
Apply directly to the wound or burn site. To ensure INADINE® dressing stays in situ,
use with a secondary dressing like TIELLE® Hydropolymer dressing.
Changing the dressing
When the colour of the dressing turns to white, this indicates the loss of antiseptic
efficacy and this is when the INADINE® dressing should be changed.

PROMOGRAN
®
PROMOGRAN® Protease Modulating Matrix
WHAT IS IT?
PROMOGRAN® matrix is sterile, freeze-dried composite of 55% collagen and 45%
oxidised regenerated cellulose (ORC).
PROMOGRAN® matrix is designed to promote an optimal healing environment. 1
With PROMOGRAN® matrix stalled wounds close: faster,1,2 cost effectively. 1,3,4
In the presence of exudate the PROMOGRAN® matrix transforms into a soft and
conformable, biodegradable gel: this allows contact with all areas of the wound.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
PROMOGRAN® matrix has been proven to reduce levels of proteases such as MMPs
and Elastase. This may restore the balance of the wound microenvironment,
promoting granulation tissue and helping the wound close.5
Reducing MMP and Elastase activity has been shown to reduce wound surface
area.
Collagen/ORC is more effective than collagen alone:
Binds and inactivates 3 times more proteases 5,6,7
Enhances granulation tissue formation 8
Reduces bacterial growth 5-7, 9
Protects growth factors 10
•
•
•
•
INDICATIONS:
PROMOGRAN® matrix is indicated for the management of all wounds
healing by secondary intent which are clear of necrotic tissue, including:
Diabetic ulcers
Venous ulcers
Pressure ulcers
Ulcers caused by mixed vascular aetiologies
PROMOGRAN® matrix has demonstrated haemostatic properties.
PROMOGRAN® matrix can be used under compression therapy.
•
•
•
•
•
How do I use it?
Preparation
1.Prepare the wound per standard wound care protocol and debride when necessary.
2.PROMOGRAN® matrix may be used when visible signs of infection are present in the
wound area only when proper medical treatment addresses the underlying cause.
22 — Section
Product Information
3.Hydrate with saline for wounds with low or no exudate.
Application
1.Apply directly to wound, covering the entire wound bed. PROMOGRAN® matrix
forms a gel on contact with exudate or through saline hydration.
2.Cover PROMOGRAN® matrix with a secondary dressing to maintain a moist
wound healing environment.
3.Choose a suitable secondary dressing depending on level of exudate.
4. The biodegradable gel is naturally absorbed over time.

WHAT IS IT?
PROMOGRAN PRISMA® matrix is a freeze-dried composite of collagen, oxidised
regenerated cellulose (ORC) and silver.
Made from a matrix of 55% collagen, 44% ORC and 1% ORC/Silver
•
PROMOGRAN PRISMA® matrix is designed to ‘kick start’ the healing process while
providing protection from infection.1-2
In the presence of exudate PROMOGRAN PRISMA® matrix transforms into a soft
and conformable, biodegradable gel; this allows contact with all areas of the
wound.
With PROMOGRAN PRISMA® matrix see stalled wounds close: faster,3-5 cost

WHAT IS IT?
FIBRACOL® Plus Dressing combines the structural support of collagen with the
exudate management of alginate. FIBRACOL® Plus Dressing is composed of 90%
collagen and 10% alginate.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The combination of collagen and alginate provides the versatility needed when
addressing a variety of wound types and a wide range of exudate levels (from
low to high).
FIBRACOL® Plus Dressing maintains a moist wound environment which is
conducive to granulation tissue formation and epithelialisation that enables
healing to proceed optimally.

TIELLE
®
TIELLE® Hydropolymer FOAM dressings
WHAT IS IT?
The TIELLE® Family has a unique design compared to ordinary foams; it
contains LiquaLock® technology, which cleverly retains exudate while also
letting moisture vapour pass through the dressing, helping to provide an
optimal moist wound healing environment.
Managing exudate better helps wounds heal faster and increases patient
comfort. For instance, in a clinical evaluation of 6993 patients TIELLE®
dressings were proven to be clinically efficacious in all wound types studied,
with 95% healing or improvement after 4 weeks of treatment, and improved
the patients’ quality of life.1
The TIELLE® Family comes in a wide range of sizes, shapes and absorbencies,
allowing you to find a dressing that suits your patients’ needs.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Comfort for the wound
As exudate is absorbed by the dressing, it is designed to expand and
conform to the contours of the wound bed, which helps minimize exudate
build-up and the chance of maceration. The super absorbent layer of
TIELLE® Plus and TIELLE® Max absorbs up to 30x its own weight.5
Under normal use, the LiquaLock® technology locks fluid into the cell walls,
which means reduced potential for it to be released back into the wound2-4
The vapour-permeable backing allows moisture vapour to transfer through
the back of the dressing, allowing for absorption of additional exudate
TIELLE dressings do not gel or disintegrate- for easy removal and less pain
•
•
•
•
Comfort for you
•The adhesive dressings allow repositioning as needed on initial application,
yet stays were it is placed
•The non-adhesive dressings are cut-able and can be used for all levels of
exudate
Comfort for the patient
TIELLE® and TIELLE® Plus control leakage and odour for better patient
quality of life1,5
•
28 — Section
Product Information
–The adhesive variants require no secondary dressing or tape but still
allow for skin-friendly removal , due to the unique water-deactivated
adhesive
–The polyurethane adhesive and backing provide a bacterial and
contaminant barrier6
–Adhesive dressings can be worn in the shower
Comfort for the budget
Cost-effective wound care relies on reducing the time to healing, but also
on reducing the number of dressing changes needed
The superior fluid handling7 of TIELLE® Plus and TIELLE® Max means fewer
dressing changes
All TIELLE® Family dressings provide a wear time of up to seven days
depending on wound condition and exudate level
•
•
•
INDICATIONS:
TIELLE® Family dressings are indicated for:
pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, lower extremity ulcers, donor sites, post-surgical
or traumatic wounds.
TIELLE® dressings are suitable for use under compression bandaging.

NU-DERM HYDROCOLLOID
®
WHAT IS IT?
NU-DERM® Hydrocolloid Dressing is a sterile hydrocolloid wound dressing designed
to maintain a moist wound environment. The NU-DERM® Hydrocolloid Wound
Dressings consist of a wound contact layer of hydrocolloid and come in a variety of
shapes and sizes. The top layer is either a semi-permeable polyurethane film (Border
and Thin), or a film-coated polyurethane foam (Standard).
The Border product is conformable, has a top layer of low-friction film, and has
bevelled edges all around the product - the border itself is a continuation of the
skin-friendly hydrocolloid adhesive material
•
•The Standard product has a top layer of foam, rounded corners, and is uniform
in thickness
•The semi-transparent Thin product, which is conformable and has a top layer of
low-friction film, allows close and easy monitoring of the wound bed without
dressing removal
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Helps maintain a moist wound healing environment and encourages autolytic
debridement, thus enabling granulation to proceed under optimum conditions
Designed to protect low risk wounds against bacterial contamination*
The dressing material interacts with wound exudate to form a soft gel - due
to the matrix formulation of the hydrocolloid material, most of the gel is
removed together with the dressing, resulting in little or no damage to the
newly formed tissue
The dressings are waterproof and remain in place during showering
•
•
•
•
INDICATIONS:
NU-DERM® Border and NU-DERM® Standard are primarily indicated for the
management of light to moderately exuding pressure sores and leg ulcers
NU-DERM® Thin is primarily indicated for the management of superficial dry/
lightly exuding wounds, post-operative wounds, and superficial wounds and
abrasions; however it is also useful on small wounds towards the end of the
healing phase
•
•
How do I use it?
Application
1.Remove the large part of the protective backing paper from the dressing.

HYDROGEL WITH ALGINATE
WHAT IS IT?
NU-GEL® Hydrogel is a transparent hydro-active amorphous gel containing sodium
alginate that gently and effectively rehydrates necrotic tissue and fibrinous
slough, and is designed to create an ideal moist wound healing environment for
granulating and epithelising wounds.1
HOW DOES IT WORK?
NU-GEL® Hydrogel gently and effectively provides rehydration of the wound for
autolytic debridement, significantly decreasing the amount of necrotic tissue
and slough2
•
•The
alginate increases the absorptive capacity of NU-GEL® Hydrogel and
improves the ability to control wound exudate1 for longer wear time1
NU-GEL® Hydrogel can be applied to the wound with a simple one-handed
technique
•

NU-GEL WOUND DRESSING
®
WHAT IS IT?
NU-GEL® Wound Dressing is a hydrogel dressing consisting of polyvinyl pyrrolidone
in water.
The gel is supported by a fusible fibre scrim and protected on both sides by
polyethylene film.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
NU-GEL® Wound Dressing provides a moist environment conductive for optimal
wound healing. It protects against dehydration, bacterial contamination and
absorbs exudate from the wound.
•Helps
maintain moist wound environment which encourages autolytic
debridement
Designed to protect against dehydration and provide a physical barrier against
bacterial contamination
Naturally cooling & soothing to help reduce patient pain and discomfort
Absorbs exudate which helps reduce pooling of fluid
Remains intact; does not break down
Translucent - allows monitoring of wound without disturbing the dressing
Versatile - can be cut to size of the wound
•
•
•
•
•
•
INDICATIONS:
NU-GEL® Wound Dressing is indicated for first and second degree burns, partial
thickness wounds, decubitus ulcers, donor sites, severe sunburn, superficial injuries
or secreting dermal lesions, superficial lacerations, cuts and abrasions, incisions,
skin reactions to oncology procedures, dermabrasions and other dermatologic
procedures such as facelifts and other plastic surgery procedures.
How do I use it?
Application
1.Cleanse the wound of excess exudate.
2.Cut the dressing to size with sterile scissors if necessary.
3.Remove the thicker protective plastic film from the dressing and apply the
exposed side of the dressing to the wound.
4.Secure the dressing with tape or cover with gauze and tape down.
5.The dressing may be refrigerated (minimum 1 hour) to enhance the cooling effect.
44 — Section
Product Information
6.The dressing may be left in place up to 72 hours depending upon the amount of
exudate.
Allowing the top plastic film to remain in place retards drying of the dressing.
However, if it is desired to apply multiple dressings or to use the dressing to fill a
wound cavity, then the top plastic film may be removed. Then a secondary semiocclusive dressing such as BIOCLUSIVE® Transparent Dressing may be applied.
